12 Day Sex, Love & Porn Addiction Intensive for Women

The 12-Day Sex, Love & Porn Addiction Intensive for Women is designed to help women establish sexual and relational sobriety, understand the root and ritual of addictive behavior, develop empathy, reduce shame, and break the cycle of acting out. Women who struggle with sexual and relational compulsivity have often experienced adverse life events and have limited emotional coping strategies. This intensive utilizes multiple treatment modalities, including the Patrick Carnes’ Task Model, to establish or improve recovery, through the delivery of approximately 70 hours of synthesized trauma- and addiction-focused care. Each participant will receive:

A comprehensive psychological assessment

Daily psychoeducation and process groups

Daily individual therapy sessions

Tangible tools to manage urges and emotions

Skills to enhance intimacy and communication

Neurofeedback (if indicated)

EMDR (if indicated)

Experiential groups

Attendance at a local SAA meeting

Partner involvement (when appropriate)

Participants will stay at a local sober living house as a group, to develop a sense community and maintain a high level of care, given the limited distractions of daily life.
